B&D / ATA Part Number: BND60605.
⚙️ Industrial Automation Controller
The CB-6 is designed for applications requiring more flexibility than a conventional integrated garage door opener control board.
It can form the central control system for compatible:
- Industrial gates
- Commercial gates
- Swing gates
- Sliding gates
- Industrial doors
- Commercial doors
- Motorised shutters
- Single-motor systems
- Dual-motor systems
- Other compatible AC motor automation systems
The exact configuration depends on the motors, contactors, limit switches and accessories used within the installation.
🔄 Control Up to Two Motors
The CB-6 can control up to two AC motors.
This allows it to be configured for:
- Single-motor automation
- Dual-motor automation
- Single-leaf gates
- Dual-leaf gates
- Compatible commercial door systems
- Other one or two motor installations
When only one motor is required, the second motor control functions do not need to be used.
⚡ Single or Three-Phase Motor Control
One of the major advantages of the CB-6 is its ability to form part of both single-phase and three-phase automation systems.
ATA specifies support for:
- Single-phase AC motors
- Three-phase AC motors via suitable contactors
This makes the controller particularly useful for commercial and industrial automation where larger three-phase motors may be required.
Correct contactors and electrical equipment must be selected according to the motor and installation.
🧠 Microprocessor Logic
The CB-6 uses microprocessor-controlled logic to manage the automation system.
Rather than simply switching a motor on and off, the controller can coordinate:
- Opening cycles
- Closing cycles
- Stop commands
- Pedestrian operation
- Safety inputs
- Automatic closing
- Motor sequencing
- Limit switch inputs
- Access-control triggers
- Optional lighting functions
This provides considerable flexibility when configuring a customised automation system.
🚪 Dual Gate Synchronisation
For dual-motor installations, the CB-6 incorporates synchronising-delay functionality.
This allows the operation of two motors to be coordinated where one gate leaf needs to start or stop at a different time to the other.
This is particularly useful on overlapping dual swing gates where one leaf must move before the second leaf.
🚶 Pedestrian Access
A dedicated pedestrian input allows the CB-6 to provide partial-access functionality.
This can be used to operate the appropriate gate or door for pedestrian entry without requiring the complete entrance to open.
Pedestrian cycle timing and automatic closing functions can also be configured within the controller.
🔁 Automatic Closing
The CB-6 provides multiple automatic-close functions.
ATA documentation identifies dedicated modes for:
- Standard Auto Close
- Pedestrian Auto Close
- Photoelectric Beam Triggered Auto Close
This provides considerable flexibility when configuring how the gate or door should automatically close after being opened.
👁️ Photoelectric Safety Beam Input
The CB-6 provides a dedicated P.E. input for connection of compatible photoelectric safety equipment.
The controller can be configured to alter its behaviour when the safety beam is activated.
Depending on the selected operating mode, the photoelectric input can interact with opening, closing and automatic-close functions.
Appropriate safety devices should be installed according to the automation system and site requirements.
🚗 Loop Detector Compatibility
The flexible control inputs allow the CB-6 to be integrated with suitable vehicle loop detectors.
Loop detection can be used in commercial and industrial access-control applications to detect vehicles and provide an appropriate trigger to the automation system.
This makes the CB-6 suitable for installations such as:
- Commercial driveways
- Car parks
- Industrial entrances
- Warehouses
- Loading areas
- Controlled vehicle access points
💳 Access Control Integration
The CB-6 can accept triggers from external access-control equipment.
Compatible installations can incorporate equipment such as:
- Swipe-card readers
- Key switches
- Push buttons
- Access-control systems
- Loop detectors
- Safety beams
- Intercom systems
- Suitable external relay outputs
This allows the CB-6 to operate as the automation controller while a separate access-control system determines who is authorised to activate the gate or door.
🎛️ Multiple Control Inputs
ATA provides dedicated control and safety inputs including:
- OPN – Open
- CLS – Close
- STP – Stop
- OSC – Open / Stop / Close
- PED – Pedestrian
- P.E. – Photoelectric Safety
This gives installers considerable flexibility when integrating external switches, access-control equipment and safety devices.
📡 Optional Remote Control Receiver
The CB-6 incorporates a connection for a compatible ATA plug-in receiver.
Adding the appropriate receiver allows the automation system to be operated using compatible wireless remote transmitters.
This means the CB-6 can be configured for:
- Hardwired controls only
- Access-control operation
- Remote-control operation
- A combination of different control methods
The receiver and remote transmitters are optional and are not included unless specifically stated.
🚦 Gate Status Indication
In suitable configurations, the motor 2 outputs can be repurposed to provide gate-status indication when they are not required to operate a second motor.
This can allow external indicator lights to show gate status.
This feature provides additional flexibility for commercial or industrial installations where operators need a visual indication of the automation system’s condition.
💡 Optional Warning & Courtesy Lighting
The CB-6 supports an optional light relay module.
When fitted, this can be used to control suitable:
- Warning lights
- Courtesy lights
- Status lighting
The relay can switch an external lighting circuit according to the controller configuration.
The optional relay module and external lighting equipment are separate components.
🔐 Electric Lock Output
The CB-6 provides functionality for compatible electric locking equipment.
This can be useful on automated gate installations where an electric lock is required to secure the gate when closed.
The lock function can be coordinated with the automation cycle so the lock is released before the gate begins opening.
⏱️ Adjustable Cycle Timers
The controller provides adjustable timing for various operating functions.
These include:
- Open cycle timing
- Close cycle timing
- Pedestrian cycle timing
- Standard auto-close timing
- Pedestrian auto-close timing
- Photoelectric-triggered auto-close operation
This allows the controller to be configured according to the travel requirements of the connected automation system.
🛑 Limit Switch Support
The CB-6 supports limit switch inputs for compatible motors.
Limit switches can provide the controller with information when the automated gate or door reaches its required open or closed position.
The controller can also be configured for compatible applications where conventional limit switches are not used.
🔍 Input Status LEDs
The control board incorporates LED indicators for supported inputs.
These indicators allow technicians to quickly check the status of:
- Control inputs
- Safety inputs
- Limit switch inputs
This can significantly assist during installation, commissioning and troubleshooting.
🧰 Professional Installation & Diagnostics
The CB-6 provides extensive adjustment and diagnostic functionality intended for professional automation installers.
The controller allows technicians to configure the operating behaviour according to the particular motor and access system.
Its input status indicators can also help identify problems with:
- Safety circuits
- Limit switches
- External controls
- Access-control equipment
- Motor operation
🔧 PG3 Programmer Support
